Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Season the chicken breasts with ground black pepper. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat.
Cook the chicken breasts in the skillet for about 5-6 minutes on each side, until browned and cooked through. Remove from the skillet and let cool slightly before shredding into thin strips.
While the chicken is cooking, prepare the vegetables. Dice the red bell pepper and cucumber into small cubes. Halve the avocado, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into a bowl. Mash the avocado with a fork and squeeze the juice of one lime over it, mixing well.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked chicken, corn kernels, diced bell pepper, diced cucumber, and chopped cilantro leaves. Gently fold in the mashed avocado until evenly distributed.
Warm the whole wheat tortillas in the oven for about 5 minutes or until they are pliable.
Lay a warm tortilla on a flat surface and spoon a generous portion of the chicken and corn mixture onto the center. Fold in the sides, then roll up tightly from the bottom to form a neat log.
Repeat the process with the remaining tortillas.
Cut each roll in half diagonally and serve immediately, or wrap in foil to enjoy later.
